In an elegant fusion of art and science, researchers at Rice University have achieved a major milestone in nanomaterials engineering by uncovering how boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)—touted for their ...

Here, we explore both the synthesis and decomposition of potassium and ammonia-intercalated iron selenide superconductors through in situ powder X-ray diffraction. We report a complete phase diagram ...

Albert Einstein, in 1905, presented the revolutionary idea of light quanta of energy which equals ħw, where ħ is reduced Planck's constant. There is plenty of experimental evidence on magnetic ...

Shadow casting is based on light rays interacting with different geometries, whereas diffraction casting is based on properties of the light wave itself, which results in more spatially efficient ...

A combined team of engineers from Jiangsu University and Harvard University used a non-destructive, light diffraction fingerprint technique to detect viral infections in cells. Their paper is ...

A lensless light diffraction method enables the continuous monitoring of infection progression and is also highly accurate and cost-effective.

Researchers have gained new insights into the development of the light-induced ferroelectric state in SrTiO3. They exposed the material to mid-infrared and terahertz frequency laser pulses and ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has zoomed in on N79, a 1,630-light-year-wide star birthing complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud, to produce a stunning image.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has delivered once again, offering a highly detailed image of two young stars more than 1,000 light-years from Earth.

Halos everywhere? The clouding of the lens can result in diffraction of light entering your eye. This can cause a halo to appear around light sources.
